PRODUCT DATA SHEET
AMBERLITE™ FPX66
Food Grade Adsorbent Resin
For Juice Upgrading and Improved Decolourisation
AMBERLITE FPX66 is a macroreticular, nonfuctionalised adsorbent resin designed for the juice
processing market where local regulations allow for
such use.
AMBERLITE FPX66 can also be used for a wide
variety of food processing applications to both
recover high value materials and to purify and
decolourise food and food additive streams.
AMBERLITE FPX66 has excellent physical resistance
and thermal stability making it ideal for use in
column based systems over a large number of process
cycles.

HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS
As governmental regulations vary by country, it is
recommended that potential users seek advice from
their AMBERLITE representative in order to
determine the best resin choice, optimum operating
and regeneration conditions.
Figure 1 shows the bed expansion of AMBERLITE
FPX66 as a function of backwash flow rate and water
temperature. Figure 2 shows the pressure drop data
for AMBERLITE FPX66 as a function of service flow
rate. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the
service run with a clear water and a correctly
classified bed.

Ion exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents, as produced, contain by-products resulting from the manufacturing process. The user must determine the extent to which
organic by-products must be removed for any particular use and establish techniques to assure that the appropriate level of purity is achieved for that use. The user must
ensure compliance with all prudent safety standards and regulatory requirements governing the application. Except where specifically otherwise stated, Rohm and Haas
Company does not recommend its ion exchange resins or polymeric adsorbents, as supplied, as being suitable or appropriately pure for any particular use. Consult your Rohm
and Haas technical representative for further information. Acidic and basic regenerant solutions are corrosive and should be handled in a manner that will prevent eye and skin
contact. Nitric acid and other strong oxidising agents can cause explosive type reactions when mixed with Ion Exchange resins. Proper design of process equipment to prevent
rapid buildup of pressure is necessary if use of an oxidising agent such as nitric acid is contemplated. Before using strong oxidising agents in contact with Ion Exchange Resins,
consult sources knowledgeable in the handling of these materials.
